How to restore the samsung scx 4300 printer

We will now tell you about a particular samsung monochrome printer that is known for its high page yield, ideal for small businesses and offices. It can print up to 18 A4 pages per minute and, since it’s a multifunction printer, it can print, scan and copy.

As usual, we can count on samsung’s high quality products. This is one of the smallest multifuncti n laser printers in the market, and can be made to fit in any office or workplace.

Unfortunately, as manufacturers evolve and move forward, so do the techniques they use to keep us from refilling toner or ink cartridges to save a bit of money in printer accessories.

Samsung also takes part in this new trend, and has installed chips inside the toner cartridges that make them burn completely as soon as they run out of ink.

However, we’ve managed to discover the page counter used on samsung scx 4300 and have decided to share it with all of you. Please read the entire procedure, and remember you can contact us by leaving a comment in the section below this post if something goes wrong.
Before we start with the page counter restoring process, you will need to remove this chip from the toner cartridge. The next picture will show you what it looks like.
